摘要:

目的 探讨BCLC-A期肝细胞癌(hepatocellular  carcinoma,HCC)患者根治性切除术后甲胎蛋白(alpha fetoprotein,AFP)半衰期与HCC复发的关系。方法 对2007年1月至2012年12月行根治性切除术的309例BCLC-A期HCC患者的临床资料进行回顾性分析,将患者分为AFP(+)组和AFP(-)组,比较两组患者术后无瘤生存时间,并对AFP(+)患者术后不同AFP 半衰期组间无瘤生存时间进行分析。结果 AFP(+)组与AFP(-)组的中位无瘤生存时间分别为54.3个月、64.3个月,两者比较差异有统计学意义(P=0.041)。AFP(+)组患者术后AFP半衰期≤5 d和>5 d的中位无瘤生存时间分别为59.1个月、46.2个月,两者比较差异亦有统计学意义(P=0.048)。结论 HCC根治性切除术后AFP(+)者的预后较AFP(-)者差,术后AFP半衰期≤5 d和>5 d可作为HCC的根治性切除术后复发的预测指标。

Abstract:

 Objective To investigate the value of determining the half-life of alpha-fetoprotein(AFP) to screen for recurrence in patients treated by resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in BCLC-A stage. Methods Medical records were retrospectively analyzed for 309 patients who underwent curative liver resection at our hospital from January 2007 to December 2012. Patients were assigned to an AFP-positive or-negative group based on AFP assay,and the two groups were compared in terms of tumor-free survival. Subgroup analysis was performed for patients showing different AFP half-lives. Results Median tumor-free survival time was 54.3 months in the AFP-positive group and 64.3 months in the AFP-negative group. Among AFP-positive patients, median tumor-free survival of those with an AFP half-life ≤5 days was 59.1 months, compared to 46.2 months for those with an AFP half-life >5 days (P=0.048). Conclusions Prognosis after curative liver resection is worse for AFP-positive patients with HCC than for AFP-negative patients. Stratifying patients based on AFP half-life (≤5 or >5 days) may help predict prognosis in such patients.
